Department widgets

How to add a new widget

Widgets make dashboards more powerful by displaying key insights and data at a glance. Department dashboards include default widgets such as Department Basic Info, Candidate Hiring Stats, Created vs. Resolved Tasks, Taskboard Tasks, Projects Key Dates, and Time Off Roster with Absentees. These give you immediate visibility into critical activities and performance metrics. 

To add a new widget, open the Departments module and click the Dashboard tab in a department’s page. Select the dashboard where you want to add the widget, then continue with customization options.

If there are no widgets, click Add a widget. An Add Widget modal window will pop up.

If the dashboard has at least one widget, click … on a widget and you will have three options: add new, edit, and delete. Click add new and an Add Widget modal window will pop up. Choose a widget that you wish to include on the department dashboard.

The next step is configuring the parameters for the widget data. Depending on the chosen widget, the configuration can be anything from simply adding a title to an item to more complex customization such as setting up graph parameters. 

Click Apply to add a new widget.

How to edit a widget

To edit a widget, go to the Departments module and click the Dashboard tab in a department’s page. Click on one of the dashboards.

Click … in the top right corner of a widget and click edit.

While creating or editing your widgets, you can personalize them by renaming them. Click add new or edit, and then click on the name box to change it. Click Apply after you have made your changes.
